Can stress make you bloated?

I am a 32 year old male. I have an anxiety disorder. I wonder if stress can make you bloated?

Yes, it can certainly effect your GI system in a wide variety of ways.
Yes stress may do it. There is another condition usually associated with stress and anxiety called irritable bowel syndrome in which bloating is one of the symptom. Gluten sensitivity can also do it.
Hope it is helpful to you.
